Here is another card, using Betty Boots, as soon as I saw here I had to have her to colour her up! She originally came with a blank sign, so I added with love to fit the current valentine holiday season.

(It only seems like 5 mins ago that we were all saying the same about Christmas!)

I coloured her with copics and added some lovely papers and ribbons from my goodies, the bark heart and twine threaded button are from Live and Love Crafts & the beautiful large roses are of course WOC.

I included one of my hat pins and some beige spikey foliage too, along with a silver heart charm.

The lovely large blossom shape fits the theme nicely, I wanted it to be a bit grungy/shabby chic, but still girly and I am happy with the outcome.

As I have alot of time just sitting around with my broken leg, I have done alot of colouring lately, so here is another card featuring Loves Me, Loves Me Not Tilda.

I absolutely adore these papers, they are Grandmas Attic by Tinker N Co, they are quite heavy for papers. You can find them Here. I used three papers from the collection and the Doohickey tag & flowers are made from it & its 100% recycled too.

I made and distressed the cute little flowers to add extra interest and the white foliage around the edgs are die cuts and frame Tilda perfectly!

She is coloured with copics and I added some little grasses and sky to create an outdoor scene.

I bought these three beauties before I broke my leg two weeks ago today and as I am finding it tricky to make cards with poor mobility at the moment, I decided to use all three that I have on one card!

I coloured them with copics and mixed in a little pro marker skin colours so they didnt all have the same colour skin.

I like these smaller sized easel cards, using the cute frames. I used some vintage papers from my own goodies and cut a matching tag and used a doohickey bow with a wooden heart button that I distressed, the flowers are WOC and the sentiment is Magnolia too.

I made a criss cross card, with a Magnolia Tilda masked insert, using Divine Tilda and Open Gate background.

I used Pion's Lillies from the silent night collection, as they have beautiful stargazer lillies in the corner and I used some of WOC star gazer lillies on the other side too.

I made the shabby bow from organza that I have in my goodies.

Step Cards

I have been making these step cards since around 2009/10 and find them to be very eye catching and unusual in design. My family were all thrilled with their Christmas step cards, so I thought I would share the two that I have made recently. One is a male theme Edwin Card and the Other is from the Magnolia 2013 Summer Memories Range! Thanks For droping Bye. Cuddles Jay x
